Above all, I think this extends the “big chill” not only on Catholic theology

Hmmm, are the Jesuits concerned about the "big chill" at Jesuit institutions towards anyone who has a dissenting view towards their philosophies?

Nein. Eine ost-londonische Redewendung.

A bunch of liberals.

Of course for the Protestant’s penchant for Greek ale instead of August Schtein, we chose the Athenasius Mede....;^)

[LadyDoc]

uh, maybe his problem is that he considers Jesus a “symbol” of God.

Jesus is not a symblol, but real...now, he can write about the symbolism of Jesus (just like one can writea about the “symbolism” of Bush or Hitler) but the book makes it sound like Jesus is a soundbite or slogan, not a reality.

Danke.

Is Athenasius also a Protestant "penchant" (or just a wild guess)? The Greek "penchant" is Athanasius. :)

And, while we are at it, there is not such thing as Schtein in German. The word is Stein which is pronounced "hard" as shtine in the south and "soft" as stine in the north.

Thank you.

Cheers! :)

IIRC, the Jesuits take a 4th vow besides the Evangelical Counsels, that of Obedience to the Pope.

The Jesuits may take it, but the Dominicans keep it.

I learned from the Greeks to stay away from the Medians.

Iow, "stein" is one of those shibboleths that allows the Prussians to immediately identify me as one of the kleine bergische Diebvolk, nicht wahr?

That's right, the kleine bergische Diebe! Die Preußen haben auch andere Worte, wie der Stuhl!

Es heißt Sessel, wenn man Österreichisch ist!

Ja, österreichisch! Wie die Ribisel!

Wie sagt man “total thread hijacking” auf Deutsch?

[kosta50]

Insgesamt “Thread” Entführung?

[kosta50]

A, ja, Johannisbeere auf Deutsch, und Ribseln auf "Österreichisch"! :)
